Halloween!

Bonjour!

I went up to Waterloo this weekend to celebrate Halloween and I thought I'd share my costume with you guys. It was kind of a last minute costume but I dressed up as Minnie Mouse :). I love dressing up for Halloween and getting ready with my girlies... it's super fun! So here is my costume :)

I hope that you as well as I, have a great week!

Find me on Tumblr!

Bonjour!

Sorry I've been MIA, again! I was in the middle of midterms and it has been one of the worst weeks in a very long time, but you know what they say, "when it rains, it POURS". Anyways, I went out for brunch the other day with my sister and stopped off at my favourite park to take some pics and my sister accidentally dropped my phone in a pond :(. I managed to fish it out and hopefully it will dry and I can show you the pictures. In the meantime, I made a Tumblr account! I am in love with Tumblr as it is a great way to share pics and it's super easy to reblog pictures from other users, which is great! 

CLICK HERE! to check out my Tumblr account! And I'll be working on some posts for this week so check back soon!

Club Monaco and Shopbop

Bonjour!

Just a quick note to let you guys know that Club Monaco is now selling their brand through Shopbop.com! I truly adore this site and I'm glad that Club Monaco finally decided to start selling online!

P.S. Club Monaco offers a 20% discount to students so whip out those student cards!

Love,

Ada

Impatiently awaiting your arrival

Bonjour!

I have a little confession to make: I dislike shopping. Now, don't panic. This doesn't mean that I hate shopping, it just means that I only like to shop under certain conditions.
1) Mall must be uncrowded. I hate shopping in crowded places. I usually shop in the mornings because the stores are usually tidier and much less crowded
2) Shopping Solo. If I actually go shopping with an objective in mind or to buy a particular item, I go alone. This might seem strange as alot of people shop with friends in order to get a second opinion, but I just prefer the piece and quiet of shopping by myself: taking my time if I need to or just popping into a store for a quick look.
3) No change rooms. I really dislike change rooms especially in the winter! I'm usually pretty good at guessing my size (In some stores I'm a 4 and some 6 and some a small and some a medium.... you get the point) and if a particular garment will look good on my body type.

All of this leads me to shopping online: You must be wary and really read the details of the items you are shopping for but you do get some good deals!

SO: I've been doing alot of eBay shopping and here are some of the items I've picked up.

Ruthie Davis Mary Janes.... I finally found them!

More Ruthie Davis! Patent Leather Booties. I got these babies for $150, I saw them online last year for $825

And la piece de resistance:

I've been wanting this baby for the past year but it's been sold out everywhere! I finally found it at the Saks Fifth Avenue website. I have to say this website is amazing especially for us Canadians. It changes your total to Canadian funds and also calculates your duties and taxes before you pay so that there are no suprises! I think this is a great feature and more websites should have this. This ring cost $195 and it came to $237 CDN with shipping and duties and taxes which isn't too bad in my opinion.

I've also purchased a lot of hosiery that I will do a post about. My orders have just arrived and I can't wait to wear them!

Be back soon

Ada

P.S. I am in the process of changing the layout of the blog so stay tuned!

Long gone are the days of summer....

Bonjour!

It's been a while! Again! The first weeks of school have been super hectic and the last year of Accounting is by far the hardest so I've been having a hard time getting adjusted to everything and keeping a steady schedule... but I am working on it! Hopefully by tomorrow I'll have most things straightened out.

I did want to share some pictures I took a few weeks ago. It was a hot humid day and I went out for brunch with my sister and then went to one of my favourite parks to snap some pics and walk around. This park is called James Gardens and it really does have beautiful gardens. See for yourself!

H&M goes luxury.......

Bonjour!

I am beyond words excited about this news that I am about to share with you! I just heard (and it has been confirmed) that Lanvin will be collaborating with H&M for a winter line. The line will debut via a video on November 2 and the collection will hit stores worldwide November 20. Check out the video by clicking the link below and be sure to check out the video!

http://www.refinery29.com/its-official-lanvin-for-hm-will-hit-stores-november-twentieth.php

November 20th will be a Saturday which means I am booking the day off work and standing in line to get my hands on this collection! I've never stood in line for any of the H&M launches but I might just have to for this one. I try to avoid mall traffic at all costs nowadays. I try and shop in the mornings when the malls are much quieter and staff is alot more helpful. This is easier for me because I go to school downtown and Eaton Centre is at my doorstep. Sometimes I'll even make the walk over to Bay and Bloor (good exercise!).
I will report back once the pictures/video has been released with the collection on November 2nd. I am tres excited!!!!!!!!



Love

Ada
